high demand for luxury watches
Luxury watches are in demand as alternative investments. The explosive development of the luxury watch market over the past 10 years has created a $22 billion secondary watch market. Due to the scarcity, buyers are willing to pay significant premiums for preowned models from renowned brands like Rolex, Patek Philippe, and Audemars Piguet, as well as from notable independents such as F.P.Journe, anticipating a continued increase in their value. The growing global middle and upper class is also driving this demand, as more people seek luxury items both as status symbols and as reliable stores of value. As these demographics expand, scarcity is expected to become even more pronounced, driving prices and competition for high-quality watches even higher in the future.

Why watches are a great investment
Luxury watches, particularly those from prestigious brands with limited editions or historical significance, have consistently appreciated in value over time. While the stock market can be volatile, certain luxury watches often maintain or steadily increase their value, making them a more stable investment option. The supply of luxury watches is limited by factors such as production capacity, craftsmanship, and controlled distribution agreements. Simultaneously, the demand for luxury watches continues to grow, driven by increasing affluence, global economic growth, and aspirational consumption in emerging markets. This limited supply and growing demand contribute to the appreciation of luxury watches as collectible items and investment assets.

Tangible asset
Luxury watches offer the advantage of being tangible assets that investors can hold, display, and enjoy. Unlike stocks or real estate, which may require complex ownership structures or maintenance, luxury watches are relatively easy to store, transport, and liquidate when needed. Investing in luxury watches can provide diversification benefits to an investment portfolio. Since luxury watches often have low correlation with traditional asset classes such as stocks, their value may not move in tandem with broader market trends. By adding luxury watches to a diversified portfolio, investors can potentially reduce overall portfolio risk and enhance long-term returns.
